Stay SoLYD

Stay SoLYD...youth development still depends on your support

SoLYD was set up to help bridge the funding gap caused by Luton Town’s relegation and the consequent loss of any Football League financial support for youth development. The club’s board has given the YD department massive financial backing as they too see it as an essential building block for the future of the club and part of the club’s commitment to the community.

Now the club is back in the Football League they are once again eligible for funding for youth development. But – and it’s a big but - although they can apply for funding to attain academy status, the club must match any funding from the Football League, pound for pound.

So we will continue to raise funds through SoLYD to support the fantastic work of the Youth Development department and we can only do that with your continued support. Your direct debits and other donations are the corner stone of our fundraising activity and we appreciate every penny that you donate. We hope that you will continue to back us.

The club needs youth development.

The Youth Development department needs SoLYD.

SoLYD needs you and your valuable financial support.

Your donations will help the club push on and bring young players through. It’s the John Still way. It’s the Luton Town way. And it’s the way we can continue to help our club grow….on a SoLYD foundation.

Thank you for all your support so far and in the future.

"To date over 850 physical copies and over 1000 downloads have been sold to Hatters and Decay fans throughout the UK and Ireland and Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain and the USA.

The Hatters Hatters video has had over 12,000 views on the Club's You Tube channel.

The release attracted local, regional and national radio, press and TV interest, including features on Diverse FM, 3CR, Anglia news, 5 Live and The Luton News and the Daily Telegraph.

There is still remaining stock for sale in the Luton Town FC club shop in the Mall or in Kenilworth Road. The EP is still available for download on I tunes and check out www.ukdecay.co.uk for very limited edition t shirts, hand pressed orange vinyl singles and screen prints.

The band are overwhelmed and grateful for the support from Hatters and UK Decay fans, and townsfolk and we hope to reach our target of £7000"

Its a fantastic effort by the band and everyone that has bought or downloaded the single, bought t-shirts or vinyls and everything else that has helped raise this amazing amount...
